I am convinced that 90% of caseworkers are morons.
Five days after Ariel went to her new home, I had to attend a meeting with all the parties involved in Snow White's case. It was 2 hours of bull crap with sprinkles of me getting screamed at by bio mom. Then the agency approved unsupervised visitation. Again.
The caseworker was really pushing to do something called a transition plan. Basically this plan lays out the timeline for removal from the foster home and into the bio home. The GAL had to constantly remind the caseworker that they were not willing to do that at this time and were only here to talk about unsupervised visitation (and they only did that because they felt like they were getting pressure from the judge). So we talked. And talked. And then Bio Mom talked. And then she talked some more.
The whole point of me and everyone else being there was so that we could all discuss concerns and figure out a way to address those concerns. I was able to discuss how I was concerned about her medical well being as well as her reluctance to discuss anything with her mother for fear of yelled at.
While these concerns never were addressed they did get me yelled at by the bio mom and bio grandma.
The end result was that Snow White would be meeting her parents every Monday at a park near our house. We would drop her off with a 3rd party transport (Dina) and Dina would drive her to her parents where they would spend a couple of hours together.
This meeting is partially responsible for my high blood pressure, cost me a day of work and $30 in gas, but as a result we got a plan that we all agreed upon.
It lasted 9 days.
